Sir I am previously vaccinated with 5 doses of rabies vaccine (rabipur) before 2 months. After it I am 2 times bitten by a dog so I take two - two booster doses separately each time. Last dose is 16 days before. Today I am again bitten by a dog. What can I do now sir? Previous vaccination protect me or further more shots are required? How long these vaccines protect me from another suspected bite? Sir I am research scholar also and it is normally happened in future also. So give your valuable suggestions regarding protection from another suspected bite?

Since you have taken 2 booster doses recently, it is not required to take the booster dose again since the body has sufficient antibody titer against rabies. However, keep the dog under observation and if it dies or bites other people you may have to take 2 booster doses again.
